Abstract
"This paper estimates semiparametric reduced-form neoclassical models of life-cycle fertility in Sweden.... The estimated model integrates aspects of life cycle fertility that have previously been studied in isolation of each other: completed fertility, childlessness, interbirth intervals, and the time series of annual birth rates. The main objective of this paper is to determine which aspects of life cycle fertility, if any, are sensitive to male income and female wages." excerptKeywords: Birth Intervals; Birth Rate; Birth Spacing; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Economic Factors; Europe; Family And Household; Family Planning; Family Research; Fertility; Fertility Measurements; Income--men; Life Cycle; Macroeconomic Factors; Models, Theoretical; Northern Europe; Nulliparity; Parity; Population; Population Dynamics; Reproductive Behavior; Research Methodology; Scandinavia; Socioeconomic Factors; Sweden; Wages--women
